DMK gives adjournment motion in Lok Sabha to discuss 27 percent reservation for OBC students in medical colleges

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Thursday gave an adjournment motion notice in Lok Sabha over "denial of 27 per cent reservation to Other Backward Class (OBCs) under all India quota for admission to medical colleges".

The adjournment motion is an extraordinary procedure which, if admitted, leads to setting aside the normal business of the House for discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance.

Members of the DMK and other parties including Anbumani Ramadoss from PMK have demanded 27 percent reservation for OBC students in the past as well. 

The Winter Session of Parliament commenced on November 18 and it will continue till December 13. It marks the 250th session of the Rajya Sabha.
